I use the #wheelofemotions with my clients to help expand their emotional vocabulary and awareness of what’s going on internally. I encourage them to look deeper into feeling states rather than identify feelings as good fine ok This is a great tool to help build emotional awareness and help improve emotional communication with others. #emotionalintelligence #therapytools #emotionalawareness #knowhowyoufeel #wheelofemotions #toolforlife

Stop stigmatizing women rappers for being in control of their own sexual narratives. (via https://buff.ly/2XTvhJE)

What Sex is according to @estherperelofficial posted by @girlswhosayfuck

It’s National Orgasm Day! Today we celebrate all things orgasm. It’s one of my favorite topics to teach and talk about. There are a lot of myths about orgasm. Women often hear that their experience with orgasm is more difficult. That is NOT true. Female bodies can experience many different types of orgasm including a thinkgasm that can be triggered through fantasy alone. Orgasms are like learning a language. The earlier in life it happens the easier it is but it’s not... impossible later on in life. It only requires conditioning your body and learning about your anatomy and physiology. Relaxation and mindset are also important for orgasm. My advice is BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN ORGASM. Check out the latest article I was quoted in for @instylemagazine about different orgasm types.

#Repost @theaasect Patricia Schiller saw sexuality as a human capacity that enriches, even transforms, human lives - that need not be taken too seriously, but requires adequate education to understand and practice with complete respect for partners and self. . Pat’s empathy, especially for young women with limited knowledge of how to control their fertility, led to her founding the organization now known for its rigorous standards leading to certification of sexuality edu...cators, counselors, and therapists. . AASECT today has over 2,500 members. More than 1,100 of these have earned certificates of proficiency in sexuality education, counseling and therapy. Pat’s legacy endures as we keep pushing forward, together, in the pursuit of sexual health, freedom and understanding for all! See more

Orgasms are a reflex, like a sneeze. They are a side effect of great pleasure. They are never the goal of sex but can be fun to experiment with including different types and intensities. They come in various forms and are different during every sexual experience.

And that’s a wrap! Today I’m feeling grateful for my job where I get to talk about important topics like parents talking to teens about menstruation. I discussed the importance of having shame free talks with kids and making a period kit for teens to manage the changes around puberty and menstruation. I am also proud to be a brand ambassador for @vagisil_us where their mission is to empower generations of shameless women. They have launched a personal care line of products for teens called @itsomv I’m looking forward to sharing more info soon! #puberty #teens #sexualhealthtalks #vaginalhealth #feelingshameless #menstruationmatters #periodkits #omv #vagisil #drshannonchavez #consultancymedia @ The Complex Studios
